Wanted to see if someone here can identify my clowns. I am no clown specialist. The one by itself apparently killed the fish in its old tank and was dropped off at my LFS so I got it for $50, couldn't complain thought it was a beautiful clown and it stays alone.

The other 2 are a pair I got and while I think one is a storm I truly don't know, and the other I honestly have no clue...

The pics are the loner and the short clip is the pair. Thanks.

That is a beautiful Percula Clown.
 
Percula, but they look great!
 
In the video, one clownfish appears to be a standard ocellaris on one side and then has Wyoming White markings on the other (I'm curious to see more photos/videos), and the second clownfish that's all white is either a platinum percula or a Wyoming White ocellaris (it's hard to tell in the video). Neither appear to be storms.

The third fish is a true percula, and could be wild, from either the Solomon Islands or Papua New Guinea. They're oftentimes referred to as SI/PNG true percula because they tend to have more black than typical percula clownfish.
 
Thank you... the half and half one i assumed was an experiment gone wrong or something lol. I can get you more photos of it. Definitely appreciate the insight.

Hah! Thanks for sharing the photos. Cool clownfish.

When I was watching the video I had to re-watch it a few times because I thought I was looking at two different clownfish.... untilI saw it turn around. I then realized that it was the same fish with completely different markings on each side. (I definitely think it's a Wyoming White that never fully expressed the white gene).
 
That makes sense. Not sure if that would make him a "less desirable " Wyoming White from a sales aspect but he definitely gets alot of love and really is like two for the price of one when new people are looking at the tank lol
